There's a voice inside of me that I know people will relate to; I just haven't really had the opportunity to let it flourish. To sit there and explain to a guy what it's like to be a kick-ass woman is hard. I think there're only a handful of directors out there that get it.

Growing up in Jersey City was interesting. I got to learn a lot about different cultures: I had Hindu friends, Middle Eastern friends, black friends, Spanish friends.

I'm a video game fan. I played them before I became an actress.

Guys are so predictable. They can't seem to separate fantasy from reality, so I get a lot of bikers and race car drivers hitting on me. They're all just playboys, so they don't interest me.

I am looking forward to seeing my buddy Colin represent in front of Pacino. That's sweet.

The whole surf culture is starting to embrace women a lot more.

I'm always researching ancient religions, and I was also raised Jehovah's Witness, so that kind of scarred me for life.
